NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Thanks to all our volunteers for offering their time and talent to promote Partners’ mission of “Bringing People and the Arts Together.”

From the Desk of Your Partners President:

Hello fellow Partners,

It is hard to believe that the 2014 season is almost over. It has been a great season with some unbelievable shows. From Dave Matthews opening up his world tour here, Bruce Springsteen playing for the first time, Motley Crue playing in their last tour, to the fanfare that was Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean.

We also had some amazing performing arts shows as well as educational shows. All of these events could not have been possible without your help. With your dedication to the arts and to this community you make these events extraordinary.

From me and all of the Partners board members, I say Thank You!

-John Robichau
